Cell motion is crucial to many diverse processes including morphogenesis, embryonic development, wound healing, angiogenesis and cancer. In all these processes it is not only cell motion that is critical but the local interactions of moving cells with one another. In this talk I will present a model for aggregate cell motion which focuses on the local cell-cell interactions. The cells are treated as viscoelastic ellipsoids and force equations are used to determine their motion. Results of the model applied to collective cell motion in Dd and wound healing will be discussed.
